PSALMS 46 (KJV)
MESSAGE ENTITLED
BE STILL
The Merriam-Websters dictionary defines the word be as: “a word used to indicate the identity of a person or thing” now the word still defined means: “still as not moving, or making a sound, and another definition is deep silence, calm, stillness, motionless, unmoving, immobile, silent”. (2014, Merriam-Webster)
So the message that the Lord wants people to realize when they read this chapter is that God is in control of every situation and circumstances, and instead of you trying to worry about how your problems or worries will be solved just be still.
Now Let’s put these two definitions together: The word Be identifies you as the individual or the identity of someone that God just wants to be still, now of course God does not want you to physically be still and stand in one place, he just wants you to be at peace from worry and frustration and know that he is God.
Meaning: God was here way before we was, and he not only founded the seas, but Genesis 1:1 (KJV) says in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, and when tests and trials come your way, you must realize first of all, that he knows that you cannot handle it, and why I ask you would you take it upon yourself to think that you can solve some of life’s most difficult problems without the help of an almighty God?
The Scripture declares in Jeremiah 3:33 (KJV) call unto me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you know not. Now think about this if you are constantly losing sleep and worrying how could you be still?
If you are pacing the floor walking the floor all night trying to borrow when God said you are the lender and not the borrower how are you putting your trust in him? The Bible declares in Psalms 46:2 (KJV) therefore will not we fear though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried in the midst of the sea.
That means I don’t care if the whole earth is crumbling and falling down all around you in the natural sense like earthquakes, sink holes or any other type of disasters or catastrophes God said fear not he’s got you.
And in the spiritual sense; if you trust in the Lord as Psalms 3-5-6 (KJV) says with all of your heart and lean not to your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge God, and he will not no one else God will direct your paths. Can I say this, sometimes we put our trust in others to help us and when we do we get the biggest let down of our lives so that is why it is important to trust in the Lord.
Here is another Scripture Truth and that comes from Micah 7:5-7 (KJV) it says Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom for the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law, a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.
Now the seventh verse is how you should be thinking it says Therefore I will (that’s you) look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me. And now here is one for the road it comes in the eighth verse when it says Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me..
That means yes there are going to be some people or friends of yours who think you are crazy or have lost your mind because you did not listen to them or take their advice, but when they get to the point that they are talking about you in the most cruel way, or calling you names, or laughing at your so called downfall. listen when that happens remember to start giving God thanks and yes let those praises to God with the fruit of your lips, offer sacrifices of joy and praise to God. And Don’t forget to magnify God with the joy in your heart with thanksgiving, that says to your enemies or friendofme’s “he who laughs last best which means when a person does something to humiliate you, the tables may turn at the end and you will be in control of the situation”. (2014, Ask.com)
Now of course you don’t have to exact vengeance on people when they laugh at you, because God says vengeance is mine the lord will repay Romans 12:9 (KJV)
And for the record friendofme’s will come, and yes enemies may go, to but if God Romans 8:31 (KJV) says be for you he is more than the whole world against you. And can I say this never and I mean ever despise the day of small beginnings that means sometimes that sometimes things that may look small to you, are big In the eyes of God, meaning he sees the road to your destiny and he knows that your small beginnings Zechariah 4:10 (KJV) Why? because humble beginnings are like a seed that is planted and we all know that a seed planted should be watered and given the best sunlight because it will grow and so will you, into the full bloom God knows that you will be.
And hear this don’t knock the tests and trials of life because they only come to make you strong and instead of getting mad when things don’t go your way look at the lesson to be learned in those tests and let it be you that says to a test and a trial you know what I can conquer this test and this trial why? Because I have the favor of God over my life.
Last but not least for every problem there is a solution, and well with problems many of them are magnified to frustrate you and make you complain, but in the eyes of God he sees the champion he made you to be, and when you stand up with the courage and the measure of faith you can do all things through Christ which strengthens you Philippians 4:13 (KJV) so just trust in the Lord, and know that you are in Gods hand and master plan and when you are in the hands of a great and wise creator who can pluck you out of it? Noone Be Blessed amen
